This is unfinished! Comments and lyric ideas welcome :) I'm new to FAWM, be gentle!
Should I be worried?
Should I be frightened?
You're not in a hurry
And I'm not enlightened
Something unspoken
in what you said
But now it's high time
Tell the truth instead
There's no sure bet
Let's not forget
No time for regrets
We're not finished yet
We've missed the boat
This lump in my throat
It's like catching the tide
I'm out of my mind, heaven knows.
There's no place I'm going
Unless things start changing
No way of knowing
No point rearranging
We're faced with a blank page
I know it's tough
But if we're honest
It's just not enough

lovely song! its a keeper for sure. sounds pretty finished to me!

You don't need any help, not with this for sure! You have a beautiful voice and the lyrics are tight and and tell a compelling story. You are off to a great start. You'll soon be on a lot of watch lists with songs like this! You've got the right idea. Post, then tweak later if you still feel it needs it. This is really lovely!

This is fantastic, nicely performed and your vocals are brilliant. Lyrics just flow through the song without missing a beat. Wonderful stuff.
As you’re new to FAWM, when thanking people it’s better to add it to their soundboard, they may not see it here. A quirk of FAWM, and one we’ve all fallen into.

Your voice is gorgeous. Beautiful chorus and love the chord progression too. Can't wait to hear more from you!

@crisp1 thank you, I've just posted them :)
@crisp1 Feb 2022
Very beautiful singing and playing. Post the lyrics! I'd love to read them. If this is your first FAWM song, you've got a winner already.

I came from the recommendation thread and because when Marieke recommends someone I dont take it lightly. And what a recommendation. This is divine - gorgeous chord progression and the guitar sound gorgeous, exceptional lift for the chorus and the post chorus walk down is perfection! Welcome to FAWM - what a start!
@andygriff Feb 2022
Carly this is gorgeous. Love the open G sound. Your voice reminds me a lot of the wonderful Sandy Denny. What a great start :)
@songsfromcarly Feb 2022
Thanks Marieke, it's open G tuning. There's a few lines that aren't quite sitting right with me yet but will get there.

Everyone at FAWM is gentle. It's the whole point :-)
Not sure how it is not finished. It is utterly lovely. Love the chords.
I love the line "something unspoken in the words that you said". Fab start to FAWM. Hope to hear a few more from you this month.
